Deliver Us from Evil Page #3

that I stopped shortly afterwards

and...

left the bed,

left the room,

and went back to my own bed.

Case said, "Have you

ever done this before?"

And, "No. "

And... So he told him.

He said, "Ollie, this is outrageous.

"This is the very type of thing

"that people can go to prison for.

I want you to sit down

and write a letter of apology. "

I took, you know, the occasion

to write my letter to the victim,

and to say,

"Hey, I'm sorry. "

"May I say first of all

"that this is a difficult letter

for me to write.

"I have come

to like Nancy very much

"and wanted to express my friendship

and love for her

"by having her come stay with me.

"I also must admit

"that I feel very affectionate towards Nancy,

"as I am sure I have

displayed many times,

"even in your presence.

"Now comes the difficult part.

"Did I touch Nancy in areas

which I shouldn't have?

"I have to admit that I did

on a few occasions.

"I guess I became overly affectionate,

"and took advantage of the situation

"and went a little too far.

"I have already written

for an appointment with my bishop.

"I realize the big responsibility

I have as a priest,

"and the high ideals

which I must uphold.

"But I am also painfully aware

of my own weakness,

"and how hard it is at times

"to keep the ideals of priesthood

"in front of me...

"when temptations

to satisfy one's own ego

present themselves. "

He said, "You need to know

I've already called Bishop Guilfoyle,"

who was the bishop at the time,

and...

"As soon as our talk is finished here,

you're getting right in the car. "

I mean, my mother says

that when she was having

the meeting with Guilfoyle,

he was completely saying,

"Oh, I'm sure Nancy just

misunderstood his actions.

"I'm sure she...

what she says happened

really didn't happen. "

Even though Oliver had

already made an appointment,

Guilfoyle had already talked

to Case DeGroot about it.

My mom's having this meeting,

and he's saying, "Oh, I'm sure

nothing really happened,"

blah, blah, blah.

My mom pulls out this letter,

and she said his face went beet-red.

He was furious because of the letter.

Why was he angry about that?

For legal reasons, I'm sure.

Of the, you know...

I think he was anxious

that the letter be destroyed

or in some way...

disappear.

Case wanted to make sure

that Ollie was going to be

getting counseling for this,

but when he inquired,

the bishop felt that...

he had done his part,

he had brought him down,

and, in essence,

his part was over,

and he should not continue

to be a part of this.

I remember saying

one time to Case...

we were driving somewhere,

and Ollie's name came up
